Recollective allows you to quickly and flexibly transform your research guide into reality using Activities. Each Activity can contain any combination of asynchronous tasks for participants to complete, journals, video IDIs and focus groups or collaborative text chat sessions.
Your research guide determines the sequence and conditions of these Activities, as well as who should complete them and how visible the responses will be.
Choose from a wide variety of question types to solicit both qualitative and quantitative responses when building out your research.
Recollective offers a growing library that includes open text, conversation, photo, video, screen recording, audio, file uploads, image and video markup (with heat maps), card sorting and ranking, grids, fill-the-blank, polls and more!


Recollective Discussions are the perfect way to stimulate collaboration and keep your community highly engaged.
Interact with participants in public or private threaded discussions. Start the topics yourself or let the community create their own. Each topic and response supports text, photos and videos and can be liked or disliked to create a vibrant research conversation.
Achieve the depth of live, online interviews—at a previously unimaginable scale—with the Conversation Task from Recollective. Powered by an AI moderator that can conduct authentic, human-like conversations in any language, this breakthrough makes it possible to engage hundreds or even thousands of participants personally, naturally and simultaneously. It’s a revolution in qualitative research—democratizing deep insight discovery without compromising quality, context or speed.
Conversation Task

Unleash the power of virtual in-depth interviews (IDIs) in Recollective.
Capture every moment streamed live from desktop or mobile devices. Collaborate with your client and translators in a private Backroom while the conversation progresses, share screens and other stimuli with participants, then create video clips and highlight reels from the AI-powered transcripts.
Live Video InterviewsRecollective’s Live Group Chat activity enables researchers to securely engage up to 25 people on video or hundreds in a live text chat room.
Share stimuli, ask poll questions and allow multiple researchers to moderate the conversation. With speaker identification, direct private chat, attendance tracking plus Recollective's AI-powered transcripts and summarization, you have everything necessary to engage in real-time conversations at unprecedented scale.
Live Video Groups

Make the most of the data you collect using Recollective’s extensive analysis and reporting tools.
Filter by activity, segments or person when reviewing response streams, charts and data tables. Drill into word clouds to quickly spot key themes and collaborate to save and code important excerpts. Download curated reports and export rich data transcripts and media instantly in convenient formats such as PDF and Excel.

Seamlessly bring your research participants into Recollective using a guided file upload, email invitation, shared link or via a technical integration from an existing system.
The onboarding process can create custom profile fields and segments, screen participants using various questions or videos, balance recruiting quotas against segments and collect acceptance to custom user terms. When complete, direct your participants to a customizable Home Page to get your research off to a great start.

Recollective’s feature set supports a wide range of online qualitative research, including insight communities, bulletin-board studies, diary and ethnography projects, concept and creative tests, UX and product feedback, virtual IDIs and live focus groups. By combining Activities, Discussions, live video, AI‑powered tools and analysis in one platform, researchers can design multi‑phase studies without stitching together separate tools.
Activities turn your research guide into a structured sequence of tasks, journals, live sessions, and follow‑ups for participants to complete. You can mix qualitative and quantitative question types—such as open text, conversation, photos, video, screen recordings, image and video markup, card sorting, ranking, grids, fill‑the‑blank and polls—to capture rich, multi‑modal responses at scale.
Recollective Activities are ideal for structured tasks, guided exercises and step‑by‑step research flows, while Recollective Discussions support more open, social conversations in threaded topics. Using both together lets you pair methodical data collection with ongoing community‑style dialogue, helping you uncover both planned and unexpected insights.
Recollective weaves AI through the platform with AI‑powered transcripts, summaries, theme discovery, Ask AI and the Conversation Task for scalable AI‑moderated interviews. These capabilities help researchers quickly understand large volumes of unstructured data, surface quotes and run human‑like conversations at scale without losing transparency or control over the underlying data.
The Recollective Conversation Task uses an AI moderator that follows your conversation objectives for tone, structure and depth to conduct one‑on‑one interviews with participants in any supported language. Each session produces transcripts, AI summaries, automatic translations and indexed data that can be explored with Recollective Ask AI and other analysis tools, allowing you to run hundreds or thousands of interviews in parallel.
Recollective’s automatic translations allow participants, moderators and clients to interact in their preferred languages within a single, unified study. Activities, questions, comments and responses can be auto‑translated across all supported languages, and teams can export text‑based data in any target language, making it easier to run inclusive, multi‑market research without separate local builds or third‑party translation costs.
Recollective includes coding and excerpting, filters by activity, segment, or person, dynamic word clouds, charts and data tables, plus AI‑driven summaries and exploration via Recollective Ask AI. Researchers can quickly move from raw responses to curated reports and exports in formats like PDF and Excel, sharing evidence‑rich stories with stakeholders without leaving the platform.
Recollective’s onboarding tools support custom profile fields, screening questions, quotas, and segment creation to ensure the right people join each study or community. Participants can be invited via file upload, email, links, or integrations, and segmentation drives personalized activities, targeted analysis and supports incentives throughout the lifecycle of the project.
You can request a tailored demo directly from the Recollective team, who will walk you through the Recollective platform, example studies and relevant features for your use cases. Pricing is typically based on project scope, number of participants and level of services or support your team requires.
